Layla Box Set/5 discs/2 lp's/DVD

[rusinurbe]

They could have given us the stereo, & both 5.1 mixes all on the one blu-ray - oh well at least I already have the SACD & DVD.......

More to the point Both Stereo and Both 5.1 mixes and thrown in 'In Concert' and still had space for all the 20th anniversary stuff

You're all missing the point here, which is how they will continue getting you to buy another copy, and another, and another...

Yes. That's how it is.
Good for me as I never had this one and with the supi dupi deluxe set for the first time :banana:

Layla! How I yearn for Layla! Someday, I'll hit the lottery (didn't want to write about an inheritance in case it triggers some death!) and I'll buy 2 copies and ship you one! And then I'll score some Biggs Bach! Peace

What's really crazy about Layla; is that I was never a huge fan of the song itself, but loved the rest the album; and I'm just kickin' the shit out of myself for letting it get scarce - It's Elliot freekin' Scheiner damn it

Bell bottom blues is the song on that album that really stands out to me

My friend asks me "why is this disc only 5.0?" So I dig out mine and place it in the Oppo BDP-93 and it reports the disc as being 5.0. There isn't any LFE sub action on my disc or his; can't remember the source now. Any thoughts on this?

Tim,

I just checked my rip files and they are definitely 5.0. no LFE. There is a center channel but no LFE. When I made the flac's for the car I had to insert an empty LFE before they would play

That's strange - on my copy, there's definitely audio in the LFE channel. Here's "Bell Bottom Blues" and "Layla":

Wow, that's bizarre. I will have to re-rip it tomorrow to check it out. The rips I have are totally 5.0, they don't even have the 6th channel in the file!

Are you sure this is the DD DVD and not the SACD?

 

[sjcorne]

Are you sure this is the DD DVD and not the SACD?

Definitely. The SACD doesn't have the piano entrance halfway through "Layla" squarely in the rears like that.

I’m wondering if the source for the files you and I have are suspect? But if truly 5.0 I foresee a project.

I figured, but I just had to ask, ya know?

I have the actual box set, which I will dig out and re-rip. These expensive hulks usually arrive, I pluck the surround disc out of the package, rip it, put the disc back in the set, then sit it on a shelf. A waste, really, I never even look at the scarves!

 

[MarkerB]

Is 5.0 a problem? Some feel it's the preferred way to mix surround. The LFE channel is an "effects" channel, not a "bass" channel. It's meant for sub-audio sound effects, rather than musical instruments. The playback system should decide what bass frequencies to send to a subwoofer, if there even is one. That decision is based on all your speakers' capabilities, which a mixing engineer cannot possibly know.

Just ripped the DVD and sure enough, it is clearly 5.1, so how I ended up with 5.0 before is beyond me. There's not much in the LFE but it IS there, for sure.

Here's a look at the entire DVD at 24/48, ripped with MakeMKV and then AudioMuxer

You probably used DVD Audio Extractor last time and it was playing tricks on you like it is doing to @northernsoul...haha.

 

[edisonbaggins]

Is 5.0 a problem?

Not per se, but it would be odd, given Scheiner's M.O.
